by his late hunting dog, Ben"
which was then puppy. The depot
was at that time situated in a vast
swamp, located where now the busy
street car, the noisy fruit vender, the
Gong restaurant and the erudite hack
men hold sway. He came alone in
order to prospect the country before
sending for his family, and for months
slept in the depot and cooked his own
food. He used to set Old shoes around
the edge of the marsh as traps for frogs,
upon which he subSisted almost entirely

with the dried fish and berries which he
obtained by trading from the Indians.

mighty NimrOd, and as president of the
Milwaukee Rod and Gun club has ac-
quired national reputation as scout
and trapper. He is an uncrring shot, a
great pedestrian. and his knowledge of
woodcraft is simply phenomenal. TO

start out to walk miles over the track
less prairie with the same confidence
with which he would go to the
often astonished the dude hunters of
Eastern cities, whom he has so many
times pilOted on hunting excursions
through the wild West. He is the in
ventor of the famous Milwaukee hunt
ing car. so constructed that it affords
the accommodations of a boarding house,
an all-night restaurant, drug store, read
ing room and Salvation Army barracks.
He possesses q number of characters

His record as, long-distance and all
around SDOrer has never been equaled.
1t is related that last summer he fell
asleep upon the banks of Lake Tray
erse. Soon afterwards there. came
at regular intervals hoarse rumb-
ling sound, which went across the
waters Of the placid lake, and was re-
echoed from the hills. The Indians in
the neighborhood were alarmed, and,
thinking that some new invention of
the hated pale-face had come TO drive
them from their happy hunting grounds,
ficrept upon the unconscious sleeper with
their rifles in their hands. The moon
I light revealed his features to them, as
he lay with his head piilowed upon an
i empty cracker box. Just as the chief
PRAISED his tOmahawk to strike. a dusky
sauaw interposed her arm. UGH" she

Chamberlain; heap Snore." Strange as
id may seem, the squaw, in her more
| youthful days. had been one of a wan
dering band Of Indians which years ago
visitedMinneapCli in the spring to trade.
She had heard Chamberlain snore as
lie lay OH his cot III the Milwaukee
strangely impressed upon her memory
was that snore, with its wild, weird and
| almost unearthly roar, that she had
never forgotten it, and recognizing the
sound fastened across the lake in her

MANY MEN.
Capt. J. r. SHIRLEY is putting in ten
hours a day upon the excavation and

The appearance of Marshal G.. w.
CurtiSS in tO-day'S procession will be
an imposing spectacle alone worth the
price of admission.
Loren Fletcher has appeared in the
new role of the working mans friend of
'TOm Lowry and other capitalists
The shadOwy melancholy which sits
plumed on the low, broad brow of Jim
Gray is mere veneer. He is humorist
from the, base.
T. B. Janney has only recently begun
to enjoy life. He never was in the
Whirl before, and has recently added
ten pounds to his weight.
Since his trip to the Pacific coast, J.
p. McGaughey has lost twenty pounds.
Ten of it went Off in cold perspiratiOn
when he witnessed brutal murder in
chinatown, San Francisco.
: John Anderson" stands in contempt
! of the city council, and surely that is
punishment enough, even for his
fragrant offenSe.
Even in the excitement of his market
scheme Harlow Gale is humorous, and
says one building will be R0nanesaue
and the other AmericaneSque.
Col. p. B. Walker has deposited in
due form, in the GLOBE office, the stub
of pencil with which he ground out
his final editorial for the Mississippi
Valley Eumberman. 1t is two inches
long and the gnawed-Off aspect of the
rear end tells of the desperate wrestling
match with the vernacular.
l Capt. A. S. Dimond is saving I'D
S1ugfiish story for the GLOBE and saws it

silly. -4.,. ir..
inspector of Democrats is the new
title conferred upon Edwin NJ. johnson,

Tom Carney remarks with affecting
pathOS, that twas better to have sued
and lost than never to have sued at all.
D. Eddie Whitcomb has unanimously
1 declined the offer of the Boston club of
/ SIC, 900 to manage the baked-bean team
| the remainder of the season.
To-day will be a proud day for T. A.
Clark, of the K. of L. Building associa-
ton, as he sits astride the corner stone
and surveys the crowd.
In this clash of police and park COM
mission, resolutions of censure, ETC.. the
voice of Judge Hauser is silent. This
is his glittering soppertunity--but 800
words is the limit.
Senator Voorhees, has doubtless come
to the conclusion that THAT man Eugene
Wilson is holy terror on VIZ cases.
